A little over ten years ago, I made a film about Ivor Cutler for BBC 4
and I became immersed in his world. And what a world it was, populated
by the likes of the Beatles, The Bonzos, Billy Connolly and many other
fascinating figures. Now I find myself curating a weekend of comedy
in the company of equally extraordinary characters - in fact some of
the most illustrious names in comedy. I doubt Ivor would have been
impressed but I hope you will be and that you will enjoy yourselves, as
Ivor admonished travelers on the Beatles’ Magical Mystery Tour, “within
the limits of British decency ”.
